The Utilities installer will perform actions on 7.x Servers and Web Console.

To create or update an installation of Corticon Server Utilities 7.x:

  1. On the target machine, access the Corticon 7.x installers you downloaded.
  2. To open the Setup Wizard:
    • For Windows, double click on: PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.x.x_UTILITIES_WIN_64.exe
      Note: While not typically required, if you are told to do an administrator install, right-click on the EXE file, and then choose Run as administrator.
    • For Linux, run: PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.x.x_UTILITIES_LNX_64.bin
    The installer opens in the installer wizard. The first installer panel opens with information about the installer.
    Note: If the same or higher Corticon Utilities 7.x is installed at any location on the target machine, an alert is posted that denies permission to continue. You will be able to apply Utilities 7.x service packs and patches. You can have other major.minor versions of Corticon Server installed in distinct folders and they can run concurrently, although they must run on separate ports.
  3. Click Next to continue.
  4. The Choose Utilities Install and Work Directory panel opens. The default installation directories are typically accepted. To specify preferred directories on each line, either enter the explicit path, or click Choose to browse to each preferred directory.
  5. The Corticon License panel opens.
    • If you select Add Corticon license file to installation? on this panel, the entry area for the License File lets you enter or choose the path where you have staged your license file on the local machine. The license will be copied to C:\Progress\Corticon_Server_Work_7.3\license\Server\.
    • If you skip the selection, a normal installation will proceed. However, the Corticon Server will not open for your use until you have a valid license. Corticon Utilities work with either a valid Studio or a Server license.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Verify your selections in the Pre-Installation Summary panel. Nothing has happened yet so you can click Previous to go back to a panel to make changes, or click Cancel to quit this installation procedure.
  8. Click Install to continue. The installation status window opens. When done, the Install Complete panel opens.
  9. Click Done to complete the Corticon Utilities installation and close the installer.

The installation and update of Corticon Utilities is complete.

If you chose non-standard install paths, modify the paths in each of the utility .bat files in the bin directory.

Configuration Settings

JAVA_HOME

Ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set correctly and points to the appropriate Java version.

If you prefer not to set JAVA_HOME as a system-wide environment variable, you can configure Corticon Utilities to use the correct Java version by setting the JAVA_HOME variable directly in the corticon_env.bat file, located in the path:
C:\Progress\Corticon 7.3\Utilities\bin

Add the following line to the corticon_env.bat file to point to the correct Java version:

rem
rem Conditionally set CORTICON_WORK to allow it to be overriden.
rem
if not defined CORTICON_WORK 
set CORTICON_WORK=C:\Progress\Corticon_Utilities_Work_7.3
set "JAVA_HOME=C:/jdks/Java21/jdk-21.x.x" -> Location of Java

License

If a license was selected during installation, it was placed in the following location:

C:\Progress\Corticon_Utilities_Work_7.3\license\utilities\
To switch to a different license, copy your CcLicense.jar file to the same directory: 
C:\Progress\Corticon_Utilities_Work_7.3\license\utilities\
